 Return to: Academic Programs (by level)
The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Databases and Knowledge Discovery provides graduate students with the opportunity to reach a demonstrated level of competence in the areas of databases and knowledge discovery. Coursework towards this graduate certificate can be used for credit towards the M.S. in Computer Science degree. However, its primary objective is to provide a well-defined target for students who want to advance their knowledge of modern databases and knowledge discovery techniques, but do not necessarily wish to complete all requirements for the M.S. in Computer Science . The certificate may be pursued concurrently with any of the graduate degree programs at UNC Charlotte.
